Chapter 1508 Anakin’s Funeral
1508. Anakin’s Funeral
Hearing Mas Ameda’s words, Sheev Palpatine nodded without a trace. , but the expression on his face is still heavy and serious.
Mas Ameda continued to hide behind him and whispered: "I invited the best design planners to plan, bringing memories and sensationalism to the extreme. Recently Padmé Ami Darla's physical condition is not good. If the intelligence is accurate and she and Anakin do have an affair, this will undoubtedly be our chance."
"Without Padme, Bell-O. It's not difficult to deal with Garner alone." Palpatine didn't even move his lips when he spoke. He just relied on his throat to speak out, "Bail Organa acted too impulsively. Now he feels that he has no chance of winning. With Padmé’s assistance, he will undoubtedly take risks and want to achieve success in one fell swoop... This is their biggest weakness.”
"I have already arranged it," Mas-Ameda whispered.
Palpatine nodded, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, the expression on his face became increasingly sad.
Under the guidance of the funeral director, the scene began to play the battle footage of Anakin Skywalker fighting on the front line during his lifetime. After master-level splicing and editing, each of his battles seemed difficult. Incomparable and extremely tragic.
While the picture was playing, a group of choirs chanted hymns to the fighting heroes with the most melodious and deep voices.
As Anakin is in danger again and again in the picture, the voice of the choir also rises and falls, and the music and light and shadow also support this tragic atmosphere to the most appropriate degree.
Padmé Amidala stood in the crowd. The relationship between her and Anakin Skywalker cannot be made public, because the romance between a Republic Senator and a Jedi Knight is absolutely taboo. Taboo. Because this would be seen as the Jedi Order interfering with the core of the Republic's power, and it was also a violation of the Jedi Creed.
So Padmé Amidala could only watch this grand funeral from this inconspicuous position. I don’t know why. Although the place she is in looks very remote, because she is surrounded by representatives of some small races, such as the Bisi people, her view from this place is exceptionally good. , with a panoramic view of the entire funeral venue.
Because of this, watching the scenes and listening to the low singing made her tears flow down uncontrollably.
She couldn't help but think of the last conversation - or rather a quarrel - between herself and Anakin Skywalker. Anakin believed that his behavior in the council was holding them back, but Padmé felt that Anakin could not understand her painstaking efforts...
And now, looking at the images of those who fought bravely, Anakin, and the way he was injured again and again, failed again and again, but remained indomitable, and the way he stood up again and again touched the weakest part of his heart.
She began to think that it was her own incomprehension that drove Anakin Skywalker to extremes. If he had been with him during the most critical and cruel battle, maybe Anakin would not have been like this...
Padmé also thought of the secret wedding the two held on the planet Naboo. , that was their happiest time, but it was also at that time that while the two were destined for life, they also drew boundaries with each other - the boundaries between Jedi Knights and Republic Senators.
This boundary prevents them from truly coming together. There is always an invisible wall.
Padmé began to feel that she had never been able to truly understand Anakin since then, and she still held on to the pride of being a member of the Republic... She began to feel that she was there It's time to give up everything and follow Anakin.
When she thought of this, her face burst into tears, her shoulders kept shaking, and she was crying silently. Finally, when Anakin Skywalker's 'body' was solemnly carried out by the honor guard, gently placed into a pile of incense wood, and a blazing fire was lit, no matter it was the video image or the choir, including music and lighting and the host, both reached the peak at the same time.
The most extreme atmosphere.
Padmé Amidala was in grief and self-blame, and finally couldn't hold on. She was breathing rapidly, her heart was pounding, she raised her hands to grab her chest, and then fainted.
......
While the Council is still seeking justice for the Jedi Order, Sheev Palpatine's actions have not stopped.
Faced with the motion of members headed by Bail Organa asking him to stop hunting down the Jedi, Palpatine only superficially agreed, but changed the order on the grounds that "the situation was unclear and any possible danger must be prevented." became an arrest warrant.
But in fact, such an arrest warrant is meaningless. All the Jedi who escaped Order 66 will never stop resisting, and the resistance of the Jedi is certainly not something ordinary soldiers can withstand, so in this fierce battle In the midst of resistance, the arrest warrant often becomes a death warrant again.
At the same time, due to the comprehensive wanted and pursuit of Jedi Knights, the Galactic Republic also temporarily stopped advancing on all fronts. Because in almost every battlefield, Jedi Knights play the role of battlefield commanders. Now that the commanders have become criminals, it will naturally take more time to reorganize the army.
For the Confederation of Independent Systems, the most critical thing is the cessation of the Galactic Republic's offensive on the planet Salukami.
The fleet reconstruction plan of the Confederation of Independent Systems has not been completed yet. They need more time to reorganize the fleet. If the transportation hub and military center Salukami planet is captured, there will undoubtedly be a disaster. A disaster.
After the Republic fleet stopped attacking, General Grievous finally had the opportunity to reorganize the fleet and re-plan the next combat strategy.
For the Fourth Civilization, especially the defense line of the Yago-Dur system, the northernmost portal of the Fourth Civilization, it also means escaping a disaster.
The Twentieth Army of the Galactic Republic has previously assembled an unprecedented fleet. Under the leadership of Governor Octavian Grant and Jedi Master Sha Kong, it has already pressed the territory with a large force and has great potential for Yago-Dur. The galaxies were being plowed into flat ground, which made the Given people extremely nervous.
However, when Order 66 was issued, Master Shakon instantly changed from a fleet general to a wanted criminal, just because she was with the fleet when Order 66 was issued, and was not with the Marines. So he escaped the pursuit of clones. In the chaos, she killed a large number of soldiers, stole a fighter jet, and escaped with hundreds of Republic fighters in pursuit.
The offensive plan of the 20th Army of the Republic was temporarily shelved as a result.
